First mouse I caught easily within a couple hours. Let him go. Trap worked great. The second mouse though, I swear is mighty mouse. The trap winds up completely cleaned out and he's knocked the door off the hinge and dragged the trap across the room. This happens with little time passed between checking it. It is definitely a mouse as I've seen it but this one knows how to get free peanut butter snacks.

Bought these because I knew if I told my landlord I saw mice they’d use poison on them. I set both traps as instructed, used peanut butter on a crouton lol and literally within hours I caught 2 mice and easily released them. This is truly the best way to go. No harm done :-)

These things are kind of ridiculous. They drop shut if the mouse so much as breathes on them. This leaves the mouse pushing the trap all around the floor trying to chew its way IN to get the bait. Yes, it was all the way at the back. The yellow lock thing is flimsy as heck, and one of the two-pack I bought came with a split in the yellow piece right out of the package. I have eventually caught 3 mice so far, but only after many, many rounds of eat-&-run, and the trap edges have big holes chewed in them now. What do you expect for six bucks, I guess... but I wish there was something better; I've wasted a lot of time with these. (And if the company knows you need to tape weight to the top, why don't they put that on the package? Or just design something better balanced!)

I just caught my mouse in one of these. Peanut butter in the back, put it in someplace dark, along the wall in the kitchen and the next day, the door is closed, the cage is full. Just make sure you don't go just outside your house and let them go, I thought I caught 6 mice until I figured out it was the same one returning 6 times, but maybe you're not as dense as me. I've had the same traps for 10 years and had many inhabitants pay a temporary visit. Sometimes you get a clever mouse who gets the bait and escapes the trap, but they all eventually slip up and get caught.

I love these traps. I've caught dozens of mice over the years. After realizing there's a mouse around, I set 5 or 6 of these in areas near the sighted mouse and I always catch a mouse within a few hours if not minutes. You do need to make sure the catch is working properly by slightly bending it if it's not exactly right. Also, place the trap where the mouse will likely approach it from the front or else the mouse can bump the trap and set it off without getting caught. Once you get the hang of it, these are awesome. I once had a mouse escape after catching it, but this can be avoided by checking the traps regularly and placing a piece of tape over the "door" after catching one. I use peanut butter as bait. It's best if the bait is fresh (less than a day old) so you can't just leave them around indefinitely and expect to catch one when it shows up. Set them when there's a mouse around. Highly effective and safe around kids and pets.

The poor mouse was virtually dead when I found it in the morning covered in its own excrement. o\Obviously tried to get out all night, stressed out. It came good over the day but died the next day. Felt so bad for causing it such distress. Would of been more humane to kill it outright.

We apologize for this experience and appreciate the feedback.

This trap should be checked often so that the mouse can be released as soon as possible. Mice can die when trapped more than 8 hours.

Complete joke of a trap Caught a mouse last night, I know I did because the mouse rattling in this plastic trap woke me up in the very early morning hours, and I got up to see, the trap had added weight and movement inside, I should have delt with it then because when I got up this morning the mouse was gone, easily escaped, it takes little to no effort to lift the door past the tiny plastic piece on the side designed to hold the door down one triggered, yes apparently even a mouse can do it, from the inside My purpose for buying this trap wasn't actually to save the mice lives but to um just prolong it for a bit, you see when I release a dead mouse out side, our outside cats would play with it a bit and then have lunch, and well, my kids thought it would be more sporting and fun to release the cats lunch if it were still alive, and I kinda agreed it might be fun exciting to watch, But not with this trap, you have to keep the mouse in the trap to do that, the trap is designed to release the mouse for you, before you can even get it outside, I guess next time I will have to get the kids out of bed at 1 in the morning if they want to see the cats have a midnight snack, before the trap automatically let's it go for me Sorry cats, no breakfast on the go this morning, just your old dry bagged crunchy stuff today

Thank you for sharing this experience. When a trapped rodent has been discovered, we recommend releasing it as soon as possible to prevent the animal from panicking and attempting to escape.

Tips

Victor® Live Traps - Expert Tips

Location, Location, Location!
The most important rule for the effective use of traps is good trap placement location based on thorough inspections to determine the high-activity areas of rodents.

Number of Traps
The most common trapping mistake is using of too few traps. For only a couple of mice, a dozen traps are not too many. For severe mouse infestations, traps should be placed close together in double sets in areas of high activity.

Importance of the First Night
Statistics show that more mice are trapped on the first night than on any other night.

Offer Multiple Bait Choices
When many rodents are involved, different types of baits should be used. Individuals in a rodent population forage for different types of food.

FAQs

Victor® Glue Traps - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many of mice are born at once? How do I know that I've trapped them all?

A: It’s practically impossible to tell when you've trapped them all. You should continue to trap as long as you see mice or notice signs of activity. The most apparent sign of an infestation is fresh droppings.

Q: What is the most common mistake in trapping?

A: The true number of rodents present is underestimated. As a result, not enough traps are used. Although you have killed a few rodents, the remainder of the population continues to multiply.
